Baltimore Ravens Draft Needs DB, WR, Pass Rush

In my latest mock draft I had Noah Spence going to the Ravens. With the sixth overall pick pass rush makes the most  sense. If Jalen Ramsey, the defensive back from FSU is on the board the Ravens should take him. Otherwise the Ravens should probably take Spence as he is the best pass rusher available.

If you have been following my draft coverage than you know I passionately believe the Ravens need a star receiver. I think Treadwell is the best playmaker in the draft. Don’t be shocked if the Ravens agree with me and trade back to get him at a better value. Steve Smith Sr. is a short-term answer at the wide receiver position.

The Ravens pass defense has been the biggest area of need. If the Ravens cannot get their cornerback in Jalen Ramsey, I think they add to their arsenal of pass rushers. Spence fits the Ravens defense better than any other pass rushing prospect. I don’t want an offensive tackle in the first round of this draft. I don’t like Ronnie Stanley or Laremy Tunsil much. Plus, I think the Ravens problems on the offensive line are going to look overblown in hindsight.
